The simple fact that IN ofice-holdcr

a sufficient reason why he should be

relieve the minds Of those Democrats
who have been charging Mr.. Cleveland
with undue preference for Republicans
in Office. He has been neither rcmiss
or indifferent in regard to the claims
Of Democrats for places under his Adj

that they possess the necessary qualifi-
cations for Office. How unfair and un-
just have been the charges made
against him by the San and it, satel-

There b no moro reason for the

IN this country than for the organiza-
sion Of . party Of blondes or one Of

udlly be brought into the exercise Of
4heir political rights in an intelligent
manner. and can be made to under

which an educated black Of Richmond.
ga. has started. will not be without
support IN places where, under
other circumstances. Il would be vig-
orously combated. As outlined. the
aim Of the Virginia gettleman il to
form in every populous commu-
nifty an organization Of the more
progressive negroes for social and
political purposes. The political
aspects OF the organization are TO be
kept in the background for time, and
m effort Is To be made to improve the
condition Of the race before its active
participation in political matters will
be recommended. This may or may
not be the proper way to begin the ele-
| walton Of the race. but the idea at the
bottom Of the movement Is correct
one. The organization starts out with
| the understanding that the negro does
not belong to any one party; tha' :
der the existing political divisions the
intelligent voter Of the black race, as
well As the intelligent voter Of the
white race. must sometimes use his in
dependence to check evil tendencies in
both parties. and can never be said TO
have decided intelligcntly as to his
duty until he has freed himself u the
tyranny Of the party idolatry.
! In the language of the author of the
new movement, Mr.. Cleveland Ad.
ministration has put more Zeal valut
on the negro's citizenship than all the
preceding Administration since the
war" Under Grant the negro was
victimized bv the carpet-bagger, who
robbed and deluded him and his white
associates as well. making sport Of the
liberties Of both by incessant appeals
to the military. Under Hayes thu
negro was turned over TO the tender
mere les Of the whites on trade
